Setting Environment Variables in the Connectivity Form

To set environment variables in the Connectivity form:

1. From the layout window menu bar, choose Options – Connectivity XL.
   The Connectivity Form form is displayed.
2. Select one of the following.
   • Global to apply options to the current cellview and all other views of the current cell.
   • Cellview to apply options only to the current cellview. Selecting this option inactivates the Extraction, Generation, and Parameters tabs, along with certain options on the General and Display tabs.
3. Select the options you want to apply to your design.
4. In the Load/Save group box at the bottom of the General tab, choose whether you want to save the options settings to the current cellview, the design library, the technology library, or a file.
5. Click OK or Apply.
   The environment variable values you choose are enforced for all subsequent design sessions until you change the value of the variables again.

To load previously-saved options into this form, type the name of a file and click Load from. To delete settings from a cell or a library, click Delete from. You cannot delete environment values from a file.
